RE: burning oil???

if you're leaking any oil, it could be the rear main seal back there. unless u replaced it when u did the swap.

Not great, but pretty good. You are probably getting some blow-by from your rings. How much oil are you burning a week?

RE: burning oil???

Try changing the PCV valve, if it's stuck open it will suck oil into the intake under high vacuum conditions and if it's plugged or stuck shut it tends to pressurize the crankcase and push oil past the rings.
